Abstract:
:Stereotactic radiosurgery under local anesthesia with the Leksell Gamma Knife can effectively treat some patients with recurrent tic douloureux after unsuccessful medical/surgical procedures. Seven of 12 patients have shown complete relief or improvement of their trigeminal neuralgia. No complications have been observed.

杂志文章abstract::Between February 1993 and March 1994, 75 metastases, 16 gliomas and 2 AIDS-related malignant lymphomas were treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Metastatic brain tumors (54% lung cancer, 14% breast cancer, 13.5% melanoma) were the most frequent and clinically rewarding cases. So-called local control was achieved in ...
